2006 Chrysler Pacifica Complaint Log

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE REFUELING THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL POURED BACK OUT AS IF THE TANK WERE FULL. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT WHEN THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATED AT HALF, THE LEVER DROPPED DIRECTLY TO EMPTY AND THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 141,000.

SATURDAY I CHANGED THE OIL AND FILTER ON MY 2006 PACIFICA. I ALMOST HAD A HEART ATTACK WHEN I SAW THAT THE CRADLE PART OF THE FRAME, THE CRADLE THAT HOLDS THE POWER TRAIN, WAS RUSTED. THIS WAS NOT SURFACE RUST BUT SERIOUS "METAL MISSING" RUST. THE CAR IS ONLY 9 YEARS OLD, HAS JUST OVER 72000 MILES, HAS BEEN IN A GARAGE EVERY NIGHT AND HAS HAD ALL PERIODIC OIL, FILTERS, COOLANT, ETC. DONE ON A PRESCRIBED BASIS. I HAVE KEPT THIS VEHICLE IN "MINT" CONDITION SINCE ONE OF MY KIDS WANTS THE CAR. I CALLED WALSER CHRYSLER, A LOCAL DEALERSHIP I HAVE BOUGHT ALL MY MINI VANS, 300S AND MY PACIFICA FROM. THEY GAVE ME AN 800 NUMBER. I CALLED THE 800 NUMBER WHICH WAS A CHRYSLER OFFICE NUMBER. THEY PRETENDED THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THE PROBLEM AND THERE WAS NO RECALL OR WARRANTY OFFERED BY CHRYSLER. THE FRAME OF THIS VEHICLE AND ALL THE PACIFICA FROM 2004 TO 2007 WERE MERCEDES BENZ FRAMES. ONE WOULD CERTAINLY ASSUME THAT A MB FRAME, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS IN A CHRYSLER PRODUCT, SHOULD NOT RUST THROUGH IN NINE YEARS. IT IS ALMOST INCONCEIVABLE! IF YOU GOOGLE THIS CRADLE/FRAME PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET YOU WILL BE FLOODED WITH EXAMPLES OF WHAT I FOUND ON MY PACIFICA. YET CHRYSLER'S WARRANTY DEPARTMENT HAS "NEVER HEARD OF THE PROBLEM". SOME WRITERS CLAIM CHRYSLER HAS APPROVED REPAIRS ON THEIR VEHICLES. IN FACT THERE IS A PAGE LONG FORM, NOT ON CHRYSLER'S LETTERHEAD, THAT STATES CHRYSLER HAS ADMITTED TO THE DEFECTIVE FAULTS, WILL REPAIR OR REIMBURSE AS NECESSARY AND COVERS ALL PACIFICAS FROM 2004 TO 2007. ONE OF THE WRITERS SAID THE QUOTE FOR FIXING HIS CRADLE/FRAME WAS JUST UNDER $4,000. I THINK WHERE THERE IS THIS DEFECT ON SO VERY MANY VEHICLES IT IS TIME FOR CHRYSLER TO STEP UP. ADD THAT IF THE CRADLE FINALLY BREAKS THE ENTIRE POWER TRAIN WILL FALL OUT. THE POWER TRAIN SITS OVER THE FRONT AXLES SO THAT WOULD CAUSE A HORRID PROBLEM! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! ANY DEATH WILL BE ON CHRYSLER!!! *TR

2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA BOUGHT IN 2012 FROM DEALER HAS ROTTED CRADLE CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE. CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY REFUSED TO HELP WITH THIS ISSUE SAID NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT REFUSED TO LET ME SPEAK TO ANYONE ELSE CALLED DEALER THEY REFUSE TO HELP WITH ISSUE ADVISED THAT HAVE PROBLEMS SINCE BOUGHT VEHICLE FRONT AND BACK MOTOR MOUNTS BROKE THREE DAYS AFTER PURCHASED. *TR

INTAKE PLENUM HAS FAILED CAUSING THE CAR TO STALL OUT WHEN TURNING IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD. THIS DEFECT IS IN ALL CHRYSLER PACIFICAS. AS A SECONDARY CONSEQUENCE, THIS DEFECT CAUSES EXCESSIVE EMISSIONS, INCREASING AIR POLLUTION.

TODAY I WAS TOLD THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE OF MY 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA WAS RUSTED OUT AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. ONLINE CHRYSLER SAYS THEY ONLY ARE COVERING THE 2004 AND 2005 YEARS. I BELIEVE THIS IS A EXTREME SAFETY PROBLEM THAT CHRYSLER IS OVERLOOKING. *TR

TOOK MY 2006 CHRYSLAR PACIFICA IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND THE MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE IS RUSTED OUT AND NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. THE FRONT FRAME HAS HOLES THAT ARE SIX PLUS INCHES LONG IN MULTIPLE PLACES. *TR

THE SUB FRAME AND ENGINE CRADLE ARE COMPLETELY RUSTED AWAY! THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW, GARAGE KEPT AND DEALER SERVICED. THE ENGINE SUB FRAME AND CRADLE IS RUSTED AND GONE FROM THE VEHICLE. THIS IS SO UNSAFE! CAR SUB FRAMES NEVER RUST AWAY. CHRYSLER IS PLACING PEOPLES LIVES IN JEOPARDY! PROFIT OVER LIVES. PLEASE TAKE SOME ACTION ON THIS SERIOUS LIFE THREATENING ISSUE. *TR

I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND MY MECHANIC INFORMED ME MY FRAME IS RUSTED OUT AND HAS HOLES IN IT. HE SAYS HE HAS NEVER SEEN THIS IN A CAR OF THIS AGE. I KNOW THIS IS A PROBLEM AND CHRYSLER NEEDS TO FIX IT BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. WE HAVE ALWAYS BOUGHT DODGE AND CHRYSLER CARS FOR THE PAST 20 YEARS, BUT IF I HAVE TO BUY A NEW CAR AND CHRYSLER DOESN'T HELP WITH THIS FIX OF THE FRAME I WILL NOT BUY A DODGE OR CHRYSLER AGAIN ! *TR

WHEN GETTING OIL CHANGE MECHANIC POINTED OUT FRONT FRAME (ENGINE CRADLE) RUST. FRAME RUSTED THROUGH. NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE WAS CORRODED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 123,000.

I HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA TOURING EDITION WITH LESS THAN 115,000 MILES ON IT. THE CAR RUNS FLAWLESSLY EXCEPT FOR THE SUB FRAME RUST CORROSION THAT HAS EATEN AWAY THE ENGINE AND CAR SUPPORT UNDERNEATH MY CAR. I HAVE READ CONTINUOUSLY THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE. MY CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND I FEAR I WILL GET INTO AN ACCIDENT WHILE DRIVING IT. I WILL BE TAKING THIS CAR TO CHRYSLER IN PARAMUS, NJ TO FIND OUT WHAT CAN BE DONE ON MY BEHALF. ARE THERE ANY RECALLS OUT THERE, OR MANUFACTURER WARRANTIES COVERING SUCH MAJOR REPAIRS. I AM NOT IN A POSITION TO PURCHASE TO NEW CAR RIGHT NOW. PLEASE HELP.

THE DEALER AT TIME OF AN OIL CHANGE INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE IS RUSTED TO THE POINT OF BEING DANGEROUS TO MY FAMILY. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALLED ITEM SINCE I SEE ON THE INTERNET THIS IS A REPEATED PATTERN OF ENDANGERMENT TO THESE PACIFICA CAR OWNERS. *JS

WENT FOR ANNUAL NY STATE INSPECTION, THAT GOT A CALL FROM MECHANIC TO SEE UNDER THE CAR. FRONT ENGINE CRADLE WAS RUSTED WITH HOLES AND METAL PEELING OFF ON THE TOUCH. CAR DID NOT PASS INSPECTION AND ENGINE CRADLE HAS TO BE REPLACED. IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.I WAS ADVISED TO CONTACT CHRYSLER SINCE THEY HAVE SEEN MANY PACIFICA'S WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS. AFTER TALKING TO CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS TOLD THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT THAT THEY ARE SORRY THAT THEY CAN NOT HELP SINCE THEY HAVE ISSUED A RECALL BUT JUST FOR LIMITED NUMBER OF CARS MANUFACTURED IN 2004, SINCE MY CAR IS NEWER IT IS NOT COVERED IN THAT RECALL. *TR

CHRYSLER HAS ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY OF 10 YEARS OR 150,000 MILES (WHICHEVER IS 1ST) FOR 2004-2005 BUT NOT FOR 2006, APPARENTLY I HAVE THE EXACT SAME ROT & RUST ISSUE (SO IT WAS NEVER RESOLVED AT CHRYSLER) BUT A LESS ACCOMMODATING WARRANTY TO FIX AND ADDRESS IT. *TR

MY GRANDMOTHER BROUGHT HER 06 PACIFICA IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE SHE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW IN MARCH OF 2006 AND HAS HAD ALL WORK DONE SINCE. SHE WAS INFORMED THAT SHE NEEDED TO HAVE THE SUB FRAME (ENGINE CRADLE) REPLACED IMMEDIATELY AND THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND THAT SHE SHOULD NO LONGER OPERATE THE VEHICLE. HER CAR HAS JUST OVER 94,000 MILES SHE NEEDS TO HAVE OVER 5,000.00 OF WORK PERFORMED ON HER CAR. FROM A QUICK SEARCH ON THE ISSUE THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES AND HAS CAUSED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS WITH THE FAILURE OF THE SUB FRAME CAUSING THE WHEELS TO FALL OFF THE CAR. *TR

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

MY "SUBFRAME" BROKE OFF OF THE REAR OF MY VEHICLE ON BOTH SIDES. WHEN I BACKED OUT OF A DRIVEWAY, IT SOUNDED LIKE I HIT SOMETHING, THERE WAS A CLUNK IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. LATER THAT DAY, SOMEONE TOLD ME MY REAR WHEELS LOOKED LIKE THEY WERE TILTING IN. NOT LONG AFTER THAT, MY DAUGHTER HAPPENED TO BE DRIVING BEHIND ME AND CALLED AND SAID THERE WAS A BIG METAL THING HANGING DOWN UNDER MY CAR AND MY REAR WHEELS WERE TILTING IN. I WENT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC AND IT APPEARS THAT IT RUSTED AND BROKE. THE GARAGE IS CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR PARTS/REPAIR INFORMATION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS UNDERGOING AN INSPECTION, THE MECHANIC NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE DETERIORATED TO THE POINT THAT IT WAS RUSTED AND CORRODED.

I WAS PERFORMING A COMPLETE BRAKE JOB ON MY VEHICLE AND NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE ON MY VEHICLE IS RUSTED OUT. I DON'T MEAN SURFACE RUST, THERE ARE ACTUAL HOLES IN THE ENGINE CRADLE. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND ALL THEY CAN TELL ME IS THAT MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I FIND IT TOTALLY RIDICULOUS FOR CHRYSLER NOT TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. THIS IS MY NO MEANS NORMAL, I OWN A 1965 THUNDERBIRD WITH NOT A BIT OF ROT ON THE UNDERCARRIAGE. WHAT THE HELL IS CHRYSLER AND/OR THE NHTSA WAITING FOR TO RECALLED AND REPAIR THESE FAULTY VEHICLES , SOMEONE TO DIE FIRST ? YOUR AGENCY WILL HAVE SOMEONE'S BLOOD ON YOU HANDS ALSO IF SOMEONE DIES IN AN ACCIDENT CAUSED BY THIS DEFECT.I AM BEGINNING TO THINK THAT CHRYSLER IS PAYING YOU GUYS OFF OR SOMETHING. ALL THIS BRINGS TO MIND THE FIASCO OF THE CHRYSLER 2.7L ENGINE THAT FAILED IN THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES DUE TO THE POOR DESIGN OF THAT ENGINE. NO RECALL WAS EVER FORCED UPON CHRYSLER FOR THAT DEBACLE AND I AM BEGINNING TO THINK THE SAME THING WILL APPLY HERE ALSO. PEOPLE SPEND GOOD MONEY FOR THESE FLAWED VEHICLES THEN WHEN SOMETHING HAPPENS THE NHTSA AND CHRYSLER BOTH BASICALLY SAY THE HELL WITH THE CONSUMER. THERE IS NO WAY THE NHTSA CAN BELIEVE THAT AN ENGINE CRADLE ROTTING OUT IN 8-9 YEAR AND IN A LOT OF CASES LESS TIME THAN THAT IS ACCEPTABLE. I THOUGHT THAT YOUR ORGANIZATION WAS HERE TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC AND SEE THAT THESE TYPE OF THINGS DON'T HAPPEN.PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME HOW AND WHY CHRYSLER IS GETTING AWAY WITH THIS. OHHH, I KNOW, NO ONE HAS DIED YET !!! *TR

WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT I HEARD A NOISE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. I PUT THE CAR IN (N), AND LISTENED FOR THE NOISE I THEN NOTICED THE SPEEDOMETER MOVING FROM 0 TO 20 MPH WHILE I WAS NOT MOVING. *TR

UPON TAKING MY CAR IN FOR A ROUTINE INSPECTION TODAY I WAS MADE AWARE OF MAJOR SUBFRAME DAMAGE AND HOLES AND RUST. IT HAS APPARENTLY BEEN THIS WAY FOR A WHILE AND I WAS MORE THAN LIKELY SOLD THE CAR THIS WAY FROM THE DEALER WHO DIDN'T CORRECTLY INSPECT THE CAR YET STILL PUT PASSED STICKERS ON IT. NOW MY CAR IS UNUSABLE AND WORTHLESS CONDITION UNLESS I PAY OUT OF POCKET THE WHOLE COST OF REPLACING THE SUBFRAME. I AM VERY UPSET TO READ NOW THAT A LOT OF OTHER PACIFICA OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS BUT CHRYSLER HAS YET TO ISSUE A RECALL AND VERY RARELY COMPENSATES THEIR CUSTOMERS. THE DEALER IS ALSO DENYING ANY WRONG DOING ON THEIR END AND SAID THE CAR WAS NOT THIS WAY A YEAR AGO. I HAVE SIGNED STATEMENTS FROM THE AUTO BODY SHOP SAYING THIS IS YEARS OF DAMAGE GONE UNNOTICED AND FIXED. I AM VERY UPSET AND NOW WITH OUT A FAMILY CAR FOR MY 4 KIDS AND HAVE NO WAY OF GETTING A NEW CAR AND CANNOT TRADE THIS IN NOW DUE TO THE SEVERITY OF THE DAMAGE. *TR

WE HAVE ALWAYS HAD THE CAR SERVICED AT THE CHRYSLER DEALER AND ON THIS OIL CHANGE WERE JUST INFORMED ABOUT THE EXTENSIVE RUST ON THE ENGINE CRADLE. DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER PACIFICA AND THAT CHRYSLER HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON ONLY A FEW 2004 AND 2005 MODELS. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY REFUSED TO HELP WITH ANY REPAIRS SAYING THAT MY VEHICLE WAS OUTSIDE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY MODELS. THERE IS A LARGE RUST HOLE IN THE ENGINE CRADLE ON ONE SIDE AND EXTENSIVE RUST ON THE OTHER SIDE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE FAILED TO PROPERLY DETECT THE FUEL LEVELS AFTER A HALF TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 06V432000 (POWER TRAIN). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE DEALER WAS NOT ABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 195,260. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I WAS AT STOPPED AT SIGNAL LIGHT IN TRAFFIC AT RUSH HOUR. WHEN LIGHT TURNED GREEN TO GO, I STEPPED ON GAS PEDAL AND VEHICLE STARTED TO SNORKEL AND STALL. IT STARTED JERKING AND CONTINUED TO STALL THEN IT TOOK OFF FOR A BIT AND STARTED TO STALL AGAIN, THEN CONTINUED TO GO. CARS WERE HONKING AND I ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED AND HIT ON THE SIDE!. ANOTHER FEW TIMES BEFORE THAT IT WOULD REV UP ON ITS OWN WHILE STOPPED AT SIGNAL LIGHT LUNGING FORWARD. FEW TIMES ALMOST HIT VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME DUE TO THIS ISSUE! RECALL MOST DEFINITELY NEEDS TO BE ENFORCED>>>> *TR

WHEN HAVING MY BRAKES REPLACED, THE MECHANIC NOTICED THE STEEL FRAME OF THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER WARRANTY DEPARTMENT WHO INFORMED ME THAT ONLY A SMALL WINDOW OF VEHICLES BUILT IN 2004 QUALIFIED FOR THE RECALL. APPARENTLY THIS IS HAPPENING ON THE MODEL VEHICLE TO MANY PEOPLE WITH NO RELIEF FROM CHRYSLER. *TR

WE BOUGHT OUR 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER WITH 110,000 MILES I THINK. THE INSPECTION STICKER WAS NEW AND NOW A YEAR LATER OUR ENTIRE ENGINE CRADLE IS COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH AND WONT TAKE A STICKER WHATSOEVER. THERE'S NO WAY THIS KIND OF RUST IS NORMAL AND WHEN I WENT ONLINE I SAW THAT THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM ON THESE CARS AND A NEW CRADLE IS 2,500 WITHOUT INSTALLATION THIS IS CHRYSLERS FAULT WE ALWAYS WASHED THE CAR DURING WINTER MONTHS AT THE CARWASH. WE BOUGHT THIS CAR BECAUSE IT HAD THE ROOM GREAT SAFETY FEATURES AND NOW I FIND OUT ITS A ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN AND WE GOTTA EAT THIS COST. IM GOING TO OUR LOCAL NEWSPAPER BECAUSE THIS ISN'T RIGHT AND CHRYSLER ONLY HELPED WITH COST ON SO MANY CARS AND THE SAME ENGINE CRADLE FITS 04,05 AND 06 PACIFICAS SO ALL THESE CARS SHOULD BE COVERED BECAUSE THERE IS OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE MATERIAL THEY USED. ANY HELP ON HOW OR WHO TO CONTACT I KNOW WERE NOT ALONE I THIS COMPLAINT. *TR

HAD TO HAVE MY VEHICLE TOWED DUE TO MY IGNITION SWITCH. I AM GLAD THAT I WAS NOT DRIVING WHEN THIS HAPPENED! GETTING THIS CAR REPAIR WILL SET ME BACK IN MY BILLS AND I JUST GOT THIS CAR 2 YEARS AGO! *TR

RUSTED ENGINE CRADLE $3000 REPAIR TOLD HOW DANGEROUS IT IS FOR MY FAMILY TO BE IN THIS CAR. I JUST BOUGHT CAR FOR MY FAMILY. IM A SINGLE PARENT LIVING PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK AND NOW IM SUPPOSED TO FIX THIS PIECE OF [XXX] CHRYSLER BUILT? *TR INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

FRONT SUB FRAME ROTTED OUT BY LOWER CONTROL ARMS CALLED CHRYSLER HQ THEY WILL NOT COVER UNLESS IT BECOMES A RECALL. *TR

A MECHANIC, WHILE CHANGING THE OIL ON MY 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA, INFORMED ME THAT THE SUBFRAME IS RUSTED BADLY AND IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD THAT CHRYSLER DID EXTEND THE WARRANTY ON THE ENGINE CARRIAGE AND ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THE SUBFRAME WAS INADEQUATE IN TERMS OF HANDLING ROAD SALT. BUT THEN THEY REVISED THE EXTENSION OF WARRANTY TO INCLUDE ONLY CARS MANUFACTURED AFTER FEB 23, 2004 AND BEFORE MARCH 31, 2004. WHILE SUCH A LIMITATION? MY VEHICLE, ACCORDING THE CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSON ON THE PHONE, WAS BUILD ON AUG 25, 2004 AND THEREFORE FALLS OUTSIDE OF THE COVERED TIME PERIOD. THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT MY CAR HAS A RUST PROBLEM WITH THE SUBFRAME AND THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND IT IS CLEAR THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH PACIFICAS MADE IN 2004 AND 2005. CHRYSLER SHOULD COVER THE COST TO REPLACE THE SUBFRAME ON MY VEHICLE. *TR

TOOK VEHICLE TO MECHANIC FOR OIL CHANGE AND WAS TOLD THE SUBFRAME AND MOTOR MOUNTS WERE BADLY RUSTED AND THAT I SHOULD CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER IMMEDIATELY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE AT A COMPLETE STOP AND ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD JERK ON SOME OCCASIONS PRIOR TO THE FAILURE.THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS WITH A HARD START. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE DETAILS OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE PROVIDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

THE ENGINE FRAME CRADLE IS ROTTING OUT. THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION COULD POTENTIALLY FALL OUT OF THE VEHICLE. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY STATED THAT IF IT WAS A 2004/05 THEY WOULD COVER THE REPAIRS BUT NOT A 2006. THIS ISSUE APPEARS TO BE A COMMON. *TR

TOOK VEHICLE IN FOR LUBE OIL FILTER AND SERVICE TECH HAD ME COME IN AND LOOK AND THE RUSTED FRAME.QUOTED $1800 FOR A USED FRAME TO REPLACE. I SEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS ON LINE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND I AM HOPING TO GET SOME HELP WITH REPAIR COST. *TR

WHILE HAVING NORMAL OIL CHANGE, FRAME WAS FOUND TO HAVE RUST HOLES WITH RUST COMING FROM INSIDE. BY DIGGING DEEPER FOUND THAT MANY OTHER CARS IN YEARS 2004-2007 HAVE THE SAME EXPENSIVE REPAIR PROBLEMS. ALSO, A MAJOR SAFETY PROBLEM AS THIS CAN CAUSE A FAILURE OF FRONT END COMPONENTS. NO RECALLS OR FIXES FROM CHRYSLER. WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT WHY NOT ON THIS MAJOR PROBLEM. *TR

MY WIFE HAS A 2006 PACIFICA WITH ONLY 52000 MILES ON IT AND THE ENGINE CRADLE IS RUSTING OUT. YOU CAN CLEARLY SEE HOLES RIGHT THROUGH IT. WE USE THIS CAR AS A FAMILY VEHICLE TO TRANSPORT OUR 3 CHILDREN AROUND. WE BOUGHT THIS BRAND NEW AND LOVED IT UNTIL THIS. THESE CARS ARE BUILT LIKE GARBAGE AND ARE SOLD FOR TOP DOLLAR. WHY HASN'T CHRYSLER RECALLED THIS? ARE THEY WAITING FOR PEOPLE TO DIE? THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM ! MAYBE IF SOME OF CHRYSLER'S EXECUTIVES DROVE THESE VEHICLES AND PUT THEIR FAMILIES IN THEM, THE PROBLEMS WOULD BE RESOLVED. SHAME ON CHRYSLER ! SO MUCH FOR BUYING AMERICAN HUH? I HAVE NEVER BOUGHT A IMPORT ! I ALWAYS WAS PROUD DRIVING AMERICAN MADE CARS! BASICALLY THIS CAR IS MEANT TO FAIL ! I AM NOT SO PROUD NOW... THAT'S FOR SURE! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HAVING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE PERFORMED, THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DISCOVERED THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE WAS CORRODED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 71,800.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE HESITATED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 06V432000 (POWER TRAIN). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

VEHICLE WAS BROADSIDED (AKA T-BONED) BY ANOTHER CAR THAT RAN A STOP SIGN WHILE I WAS CROSSING AN INTERSECTION. WINDOWS SHATTERED AND THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE VEHICLE (INCLUDING FRONT AND REAR DRIVERS SIDE DOOR) WERE COMPLETELY CAVED IN AND DOOR HAD TO BE SNAPPED BY TWO FIREFIGHTERS IN ORDER TO EXTRICATE THE DRIVER AND AT NO POINT DURING IMPACT DID SIDE IMPACT AIRBAGS DEPLOY CAUSING FURTHER DAMAGE AND A MILD CONCUSSION FROM IMPACT WITH DRIVERS SIDE DOOR POST. *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING ALL OF A SUDDEN THE DASHBOARD AND HEADLIGHTS STARTED FLICKERING AND THE WARNING ICONS DINGED ON. THIS HAS CONTINUED TO OCCUR AND THE MECHANIC CAN NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. *TR

ON MY 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE GAS CAP LIGHT ARE CONSTANTLY COMING ON. I HAD THE VEHICLE CHECKED AND WAS TOLD EVERYTHING WAS OK AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS RESET AND A NEW GAS CAP PUT ON. ABOUT TWO DAYS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED AND AGAIN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AS DID THE CHECK GAS CAP LIGHT. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS RESET AND I WAS TOLD NOTHING IS WRONG. NOW WHEN I PARK THE VEHICLE I CAN SMELL GASOLINE VAPORS. AGAIN I HAD THE VEHICLE CHECKED AND WAS TOLD EVERYTHING WAS OK. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2008, HAD APPROX. 45,000 MILES ON THE CAR. AS OF THIS DATE, 03/28/2015 I HAVE APPROX 75,000 MILES ON THE CAR. WHAT COULD THE PROBLEM BE.

CAR HAS ROTTEN SUB FRAME THAT CRADLES ENGINE SUSPENSION! IN LOOKING AT CHRYSLER COMPLAINTS THIS APPEARS TO BE PREVALENT IN ALL THE SUB FRAMES. MY MECHANIC HAS WELDED IN METAL IN PLACE OF ROT. THIS SUB FRAME IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SUSPENSION OF THE FRONT END AND CRADLES ENGINE MOUNTS. THERE IS NO WAY A CAR DESIGN SHOULD ALLOW FOR FAILURE OF SUCH A CRITICAL JOB AFTER 89000 MILES AND 8 YEARS. THESE CARS NEED TO BE RECALLED AND OR REMOVED FROM THE ROAD BEFORE THERE ARE UNNECESSARY DEATHS. *TR

MY 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA KEEPS SENDING A MESSAGE SAYING GAS PUMP, AND THEN MY FUEL GAUGE KEEPS DROPPING TO E EVEN AFTER I JUST FILLED IT UP. I HAVE REPLACED THE GAS CAP AND I AM STILL GETTING THE MESSAGE SAYING SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE GAS CAP, AND THE GAUGE KEEPS DROPPING. I CAN NOT TELL HOW MUCH GAS I EVER HAVE AND HAVE TO CONSTANTLY STOP AFTER A FEW DAYS TO FILL IT BACK UP. I TOOK IT TO ORIELLYS TO LET THEM RUN THE CODE ON THE VEHICLE AND IT SAID THAT IT WAS THE GAS CAP, SO I REPLACED THE GAS CAP AND THEY RESET THE SENSOR AND ITS STILL SAYING THE SAME THING.
